Exosens launches its new 5G image intensifier tube, a game changer in terms of visual perception and performance in night vision

• Exosens announces the launch of its 5G image intensifier tubes, a major  technological breakthrough in the field of night vision 
• The 5G sets new performance standards in image quality, observation range, and  luminous gain, with +30% overall performance (FOM) and up to +35% detection  range versus current standard — making it one of the most significant innovation  of the last decade in image intensifiers. 
• Exosens will be the only player able to deliver this level of technology to NATO  members and allies, with comparable U.S. solutions largely confined to their  domestic market—cementing its role as NATO’s night vision strategic supplier. 
• Already adopted by several Special Forces Units, the 5G has received orders for  more than 5,000 tubes prior to the product’s official launch which already makes  5G a commercial success 

Exosens (EXENS, FR001400Q9V2), a high-tech company focused on providing mission and  performance-critical amplification, detection and imaging technology, today announces the launch  of its 5G image intensifier tube, offering unrivalled overall performance in the field of night vision.  5G tubes introduce major advances that could redefine the operational capabilities of armed forces.  They offer a significant improvement in overall performance (known as FOM, Figure of Merit) of 30%  and an increase of up to 35% in detection ranges, regardless of the night level (from 1 to 5) compared  to current standard intensifier tubes. 

With this new technology, visual comfort is unparalleled: thanks to innovations in manufacturing  processes and high-end components, 5G tubes offers even sharper images. There is a significant  reduction in “noise” or “flicker,” especially in low-light conditions, by improving the perception of  textures, contrasts, and depth. This increase in comfort significantly reduces visual fatigue and mental  strain, and enhances soldier mobility through improved perception of the environment and ground  contours.  

With the war in Ukraine demonstrating the need to modernize the equipment of European land  forces, 5G technology is set to become the product of choice for special forces and the future  standard for night vision within all armed forces. With orders already confirmed ahead of its official  launch, 5G is already proving popular with its first users. 

The design of 5G is also a French industrial achievement: it is the product of cutting-edge  innovations, mastered from end-to-end in France, which will contribute to the upgrading and  strengthening of the European armed forces and their allies. This innovation reinforces the ability of  armed forces to act with precision, efficiency, and security in increasingly complex environments. 

Jérôme Cerisier, CEO of Exosens, said: “The launch of 5G tubes marks a decisive step in the history  of Exosens. It is the materialization of the group’s ambition and its strategy in its Amplification  segment. 5G is the result of several years of research, testing, improvements, and above all, constant  attention to the needs expressed by armed forces in the field. In a world where threats are rapidly  evolving and technological superiority has become an operational imperative, we have chosen to  invest heavily in innovation. With more than 5,000 tubes already ordered, the 5G is already a  commercial success. Exosens’ 5G offers clearer, more comfortable, and more effective night vision in  pursuit of a singular ambition: consolidate our position as the global leader in the sector. With this  technology, darkness is no longer a limitation, it becomes a tactical advantage!”
